I'm desperate for info proving or disproving the relationship between my Lyme & Babs treatment and my recent kidney failure. PLEASE let me know any info that will help.
My "alternative" dr has been treating me for Lyme and Babesia for about 2 years now. I've taken Mepron & Zithromax, Biaxin & Flagyl, Cipro, then I went back on Biaxin alone, but for only 2 days. The 3rd day I was in ICU with complete kidney failure. I was very close to not making it. Now I'm back home and all is well (considering).
My "regular" dr has never approved of my being treated for Lyme. She originally told me there was no way I had Lyme and that the treatment would harm me. Even after nearly 2 years of ongoing improvement, her position remained the same. Just as I KNEW she would, she is blaming my kidney failure on all the antibiotics that the other dr had me take. She is one step away from forbidding me to continue. For right now I am off all my many, many meds, except for pain meds, until I've seen a kidney specialist. Soon I'll have to decide though!
My "alternative" dr claims he has NEVER had a patient go into kidney failure, for any reason. Any and all who have taken these meds...please respond and let me know if you've ever had kidney trouble.Thanks! Take care, Beth
